This level has 3 picture groups. Solve the smaller group first; it collapses into a single picture tile that you then place in the bigger topic. How picture groups work.

SUSHI PARTS🖼️ SUSHIWORLD CUISINE

Solve Sushi Parts and the four tiles turn into a picture of SUSHI. That picture then counts as a word in World Cuisine.

Sushi — the four tiles are parts of it.

CACTUS FEATURES🖼️ CACTUSPLANTS

Solve Cactus Features and the four tiles turn into a picture of CACTUS. That picture then counts as a word in Plants.

A cactus — the four tiles are related to it.

How to solve level 342

  1. Scan all 36 tiles before moving anything and name the topics you can already see.
  2. Lock in the most obvious row first. In this level, a good starting point is Desserts, one of the game's most common topics.
  3. Solve the picture groups early. Each one frees up a slot in its umbrella topic.
  4. With 9 rows, expect overlapping themes. Use the Topic Hint before you use the Magic Wand.
  5. Leave the most abstract topic for last. By then it is usually the only four tiles left.
